Selector valve Flat Lateral Astralpool

Selector valves Flat Astralpool 

Astralpool's Flat selector valve represents an outstanding evolution in the world of pool filtration. Its single-level design, as opposed to traditional two-level valves, not only reduces its dimensions, but also offers remarkable efficiency. This innovation is especially relevant in environments where space is limited, such as cabins or monoblocs. The versatility of the Flat valve ensures optimal performance even in compact areas, allowing for a more flexible installation tailored to the specific needs of each project. With the Flat selector valve, Astralpool continues to set the standard in terms of quality and functionality in the pool filtration sector.

Selector valve functions

• Filtration: normal operating position of the filtering machine (Pump - Valve - Filter - Return).
• Washing: used to wash the sand or glass filter (Pump - Valve - Filter (reverse direction) - Drain).
• Rinsing: it is always done after washing the filter (Pump - Valve - Filter - Drain).
• Recirculation: the water does not pass through the filter, it is used when you want to move the water but does not pass through the filter because it is very dirty or because you want to distribute the product throughout the pool (Pump - Valve - Filter - Return).
• Empty: the pool water goes directly to the drain without passing through the filter (Pump - Valve - Drain).
• Closed: it is used to close the filter circuit and this position is used in winter or for cleaning processes. No circulation. Never activate the pump in this position. 

Recommendations 

• To avoid water hammer, change the position of the selector valve with the pump disconnected.
• Do not use liquid Teflon in the connections. Use Teflon tape or flat gasket.
